Sound familiar?

Your business is growing.
Your structure hasn't kept up.

Most small business owners didn't build a company to spend every day putting out fires. But without the right systems in place, that's exactly what happens.

Your team is great individually, but nothing runs the same way twice

You're the bottleneck — nothing gets done without your sign-off

New hires take forever to ramp up because nothing is written down

Business is good from the outside — but chaotic from the inside

You've tried to hire your way out of the chaos, but it followed you

You know things need to change — you just don't know where to start

Services & Engagements

Every engagement starts
with a conversation.

Pricing is never one-size-fits-all. After your Discovery Consultation, I build a custom scope around what your business actually needs — not a package designed for someone else. No surprises. Everything in writing before work begins.

Start here — every engagement begins with this
Discovery Consultation

The questionnaire you complete isn't just paperwork — it's the foundation of everything. Your answers let me see your business from the outside in, surface gaps you may not see yourself, and determine exactly what level of support will move the needle for you. The $149 consultation only scratches the surface of what we uncover together. After our session, I present a fully custom scope and investment built around your specific situation.

  • Thorough intake questionnaire
  • 90-minute deep-dive session
  • Written findings summary (48 hrs)
  • Custom scope & proposal

confused to clear.

Written summary in 48 hours
Findings and prioritized next steps. Yours to keep either way.
5
You decide what's next
No pressure. We build a scope that fits — or you walk away informed.
About Daniel

I've sat across from small business owners my whole career.

For nearly a decade at JP Morgan Chase, I worked directly with small business owners — understanding their financials, their goals, and the moments when a business that should be thriving starts to feel like it's running the owner instead of the other way around. I saw the same patterns repeat: great businesses, talented people, and no structure to hold it together as they grew.

I founded Daniel Bennett Consulting to work exclusively with small businesses here in Austin — the 5-to-50 person companies that are too big to wing it and too small to hire a full corporate ops team. My focus is organizational structure and scaling: helping you build the clarity your business needs to grow without burning you out.

When you work with me, you get someone who has opened a branch in a brand-new market, built teams from scratch, and coached leaders at every level. And someone who will tell you the truth — because that's what actually moves businesses forward.
